 Great Chess Mario! Nov 03, 2009
By M. D'Andrea
High quality, excellent opportunity for fun, excitement and learning chess for Mario Brothers lovers. Children of all ages would enjoy this. My children even love to use pieces as bath toys to continue the fun.... totally waterproof pieces.
This is a must buy for kids who love Mario Brothers and need an alternative to constant video games.

Fun for introduction to chess!! Oct 16, 2009
By AM Stone
I got this for my 7 year old son, who is a huge mario fan, but also wanted to learn about chess. The characters are useful for remembering the various types of moves and he has had a lot of fun playing. The good vs evil set up gives him motivation to win and thus he is learning in the process. A very good introductory set, for to teach kids who like the mario universe but might be confused by the normal chess pieces. 5 Stars *****

Great Introduction to Chess Feb 21, 2010
By KJ
My son found Super Mario Bros. Chess online and decided to buy it with his birthday money. The pieces are well made and sturdy. They are also clearly marked as to which type of piece they are: pawn,rook,queen,etc. I think using the Mario Bros. characters makes the game a little more fun to learn for younger kids. My son is 8 and he has been asking everyone to play chess with him since his game arrived. I think he would give it a two thumbs up and so do I.

High price - but worth it Nov 09, 2011
By matt
I debated buying this several times, but the price always kept me away. I finally took the plunge and bought it, hoping it would interest my 7 year old son in chess.
And it worked. He absolutely loves playing this. The pieces are quite durable - they are good enough to be stand alone figures if they weren't attached to their bases.
It takes a little while to get used to what figure it what (Luigi is the queen??) but once you figure it out, it becomes second nature.
The board gets very crowded - Bowser is huge, so its often difficult to see open diagonal paths.
The bottom line is that if your kid loves Mario, then they will love this. I've recommended it to several friends and while it is a bit pricey, it really is worth it.
It comes in a nice tin that protects the game pieces.
You might also check our Mario Yahtzee - it is quite good as well.

 Great Learning Game Jan 16, 2011
By Dr. Steve
This is a great chess set. I would agree with the other reviewers that it is well made and each piece is detailed. I am a grandpa who is playing chess with a 8 year old who is familiar with the pieces but a novice at chess. I have to look closely at the pieces to figure out which one is the rook, queen, etc. I can see the day when my grandson will beat me because I didn't correctly identify the piece he played. Just a warning to parents, it takes some time to get used to the pieces.
